Death… and me

2931  Tiger Head

As those Golden Clan guys approached to help, Rean and Roan received a Spiritual Sense Message from their leader, a guy in the Middle Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. ‘Fuck! Why didn’t you hide when you had the chance?! Now, we will all die here together. You better bring at least one of them down with you. We will help, let’s make our final stand!’

Roan’s expression turned even darker. He truly couldn’t ‘confiscate’ these guy’s belonging anymore now. ‘Fuck off! You will only get in the way.’ Immediately after, he shot in the Parton Sect cultivators’ direction.

“Hahaha!” Rean laughed even more and followed Roan.

Glassi and the other members of the Parton Sect didn’t believe that. Rean and Roan charged at their group. They had seventeen members, all of them at least in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, including Glassi in the Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul. “That’s what I call a suicide attempt…” Glassi spoke. “I’ll take these two down. The rest of you, don’t let those on the back escape!”

“Yes, senior Glassi!” The cultivators in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm immediately went around the twins.

At the same time, Glassi gathered his Spiritual Energy and Lightning Element and attacked the twins. “Just die already. I have more things to do.”

Rean looked at that and ignored the guy. “You like to deal with these overconfident guys, don’t you? I’ll take care of the others around.”

Roan nodded with a cold smile.

‘Life Style, Enhancement!’

‘Death Style, Shadow Air!’

‘Death Style, Mirage Assault!’

One Rean and Roan immediately became three of each! Their bodies flashed, far surpassing anyone’s speed in there.

*Zush!*

Glassi barely had time to see it when all three Roans appeared around him. “What?!”

‘Death Style, Three Claws of the Dragon!’

‘Death Style, Stellar Piercer!’

‘Death Style, Crescent Moon!’

All three Roans came from Glassi’s surroundings. Glassi simply wasn’t fast or strong enough to defend against such an assault. Roan was as strong as any Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, after all. However, the instant kill that one would expect didn’t happen.

*Boom!*

An enormous explosion of fire and lightning immediately took place, enveloping an area of hundreds of meters in an instant! That wasn’t something a cultivator at Glassi’s level could pull off.

Suddenly, Roan’s two copies were destroyed, and Roan’s real body was forced back while several burnt injuries appeared all over his body. If Roan hadn’t reacted fast enough, he would have gotten even worse injuries or maybe even died there. ‘Good thing I cultivated the Starlight Body in this new body as well… even if it is still in the first grade.’ he thought to himself.

*Arrgghhhh!*

Rean’s real body cut another member of the Parton Sect before looking back at the explosion. Seeing Roan’s condition in the distance, he couldn’t help but shout. “Oh! Such nice fireworks. Hey, need help?”

Roan’s mouth twitched. “I don’t need help to kill you. Is that enough?” He shouted back.

“Hahaha!” Rean laughed out loud and resumed his attacks. His clones didn’t stop for even a second.

As all of that happened, the Gondel Clan members looked at the events with wide open mouths. They definitely felt Rean and Roan’s cultivation. They are Initial Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts! And yet…

“How can they be this strong?!”

“They must be hiding their real cultivation!”

“I don’t remember their faces, though.”

“I think I know everyone in the sect at the Nascent Soul Realm and above. They definitely aren’t one of them.”

Roan ignored the comments and used Rean’s Instant Recovery Skill to heal himself. At the same time, he looked at the center of the explosion with a cold expression. Just now, he felt the presence of a Spiritual Sense much stronger than Glassi should have.

The smoke of the explosion began to dissipate. Then, Roan caught the sight of Glassi. He was still alive, even though he was the one in the center of the explosion. Around him, there was some kind of tiger head made of lightning and fire elements. That head looked at Roan with a ferocious expression, seeming to have a life of its own.

Glassi was even more shocked to see Roan alive, especially when Roan’s injuries recovered at speed visible to the eye. “How did he survive?!”

Roan snorted. “Hmph! Do you think you are the first person to use a life-saving treasure in this world? I’ve seen such things before.” Roan then paid more attention to the lightning and fire tiger’s head. “However, I’m more interested in you. Don’t pretend to be some lifeless skill. I know it is not this idiot who is controlling your power.”

‘Oh-ho…’ Suddenly, Roan and the others around felt a Spiritual Sense Message reaching their heads. ‘A member of the Gondel Clan, uh? You seem quite young… No, forget it. This appearance of yours is not real. There is no way you could have survived the first explosion if you were that young. Who are you? Why are you trying to kill my grandson?’

Roan put his sword away and shook his head. “I wasn’t trying to kill anyone. It was this idiot who was hunting down the members of my Gondel Clan. You couldn’t really expect me to just keep looking at it while he killed everyone, now could I? Would you have done nothing?”

The tiger head then looked around. In the distance, Rean also stopped killing the other members of the Parton Clan. Only three of them remained alive, quickly flying in the tiger’s head direction for protection. And, further back, there were the other cultivators of the Gondel Clan. Finally, the tiger’s head looked back at Glassi. “Why were you hunting them?”

“I…” Glassi swallowed hard. “They were hunting in our territory, so I just thought about teaching them a little lesson.”

“Lies!” Immediately, the leader of the Gondel Clan group stepped forward. “Senior, I’m Tubun Tubalcain. The Kisten Forest is part of the agreement between our Gondel Clan and the Parton Sect, so we have the authority to hunt in there. They just appeared and attacked without saying anything. Six of my friends died in his hand!”

The head’s expression turned worse as it looked at Glassi. The expert controlling it obviously knew that the Kisten Forest was open for the Gondel Clan. The Gondel Clan territory also had many places open for his Parton Sect to use. It was quite a common thing to have these agreements to prevent unnecessary issues between powers.

Glassi immediately dropped his head, not daring to look at the tiger’s head. Any idiot could tell Glassi had indeed overstepped. “You better be prepared when you come back.”

“Y-Yes… grandfather…” Glassi trembled all over, but he was also relieved he survived. Had he not used his grandfather’s treasure, Roan would definitely have finished him.

The tiger head then looked back at Roan and the others. Normally, it would just kill everyone here to prevent the news from going out. However, it wasn’t an idiot. With the power Roan showed earlier, it didn’t have the confidence it could do it. “You already killed plenty of my sect members as well. Let’s drop this matter here. I’ll make sure my grandson will be disciplined back at the sect.”

Roan also wasn’t confident he could deal with the tiger’s head. No doubt it was being controlled by a Transition Realm expert or even higher. “Very well. We will also return to the Gondel Clan to prevent further trouble.”

The head looked at Roan for a moment. “What’s your name?”

“I don’t need to answer that,” Roan answered straight. This appearance wasn’t real, after all.

“Fair enough.” The tiger head then enveloped Glassi and the three remaining cultivators of his sect with Lightning Element and Spiritual Energy. Then, it shot into the distance like a lightning bolt. Neither Rean nor Roan had any intention of pursuing it.
